    Discover the Fishing Traditions of Lofoten Join World Sea Explorers aboard Stella Oceana, a spacious and safe yacht, for an unforgettable fishing trip in Lofoten. This tour combines traditional fishing, storytelling, and a taste of Arctic culture — all from the sea. For over a thousand years, these waters have provided food and trade for the people of Lofoten. In Borge, Vikings relied on cod fishing for survival. In trading villages like Brettesnes, stockfish was dried and shipped to southern Europe. This experience takes you back in time — following local traditions that still live on today.
